Video

A little uneven, Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard comes from a 4K finish, all digital, with a grain filter overlaid. The imagery brings a rugged look, sharpened enough to leave ringing behind. Sometimes it's only on edges, other times the halos rob the location scenery of purity. Wide shots lack any finesse and appear overly processed. It's a shame considering the rest looks so fantastic.

The source resolution keeps the detail flowing at least. There's plentiful fidelity in close, resolving facial texture en masse. A little chroma noise doesn't dampen things; it's a generally clean encode.

Extreme color gives Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard a candy-like coloring. Primaries run toward the extremes, running toward warmth more often than not. Flesh tones pop from the European scenery, which pops with ridiculous greens, blues, and earth tones. Cartoons use less intensity. Dolby Vision adds even more spark. When an attack blows up a power grid, the resulting sparks and explosions show the best of the tech. Same goes for sunlight, then assisted by the sensational black levels. Hitman's Wife's Bodyguard overflows when it comes to dimensionality and depth.

Audio

Beefy Atmos brings enough range to excel in the low-end. Gunshots rumble sufficiently against the action, which spreads wide between the speakers. Bullets fire and ping in every direction, even if the heights only factor in on occasion, and even then, barely so. Opportunities are few other than a helicopter giving chase midway through.

Explosions generate LFE that shakes the room, and visiting a club, the dance music floods the room with a throbbing bass line. All together, it's standard fare. Satisfying, just not exceptional.
